Mergers & Acquisitions / Due Diligence
Strategic transactions require more than optimism — they require precision, clarity, and disciplined analysis. Whether you are acquiring a company, preparing to sell, seeking investors, or restructuring ownership, GPS Financial Solutions provides the professional preparedness and due diligence expertise necessary to protect your interests and maximize value.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
M&A due diligence is a structured review of a company’s financial, operational, and tax information to validate what’s being represented in a transaction. It helps buyers and investors confirm performance, identify risks, and avoid surprises after closing.
Financial due diligence typically includes reviewing historical financial statements, analyzing cash flow, assessing working capital needs, identifying non-recurring items, validating revenue and expenses, and evaluating outstanding liabilities and internal controls.
Timelines vary based on business size, data availability, and deal complexity. Many engagements take as little as a few weeks. Typically, with buy/sell correspondence, the process can be several months. Expedited deadlines are possible if the financials and supporting documents are organized and readily available.
A Quality of Earnings report evaluates how sustainable a company’s earnings are by identifying one-time items, accounting adjustments, and operational drivers. It helps determine whether reported profits reflect the true earning power of the business.
Yes. Sellers often benefit from a pre-sale review to clean up financial reporting, address buyer concerns early, and improve credibility during negotiations. Having strong bookkeeping practices, internal controls, and documentation can support valuation and reduce delays during the buyer’s review.
Yes. We provide valuation-related financial analysis, including earnings normalization, forecasting support, benchmarking, and scenario modeling to informdata-driven valuation discussions.
Common documents include financial statements, general ledger reports, tax returns, bank statements, AR/AP aging, debt schedules, payroll reports, contracts, and any internal reporting used to track performance.
Ideally, you should engage due diligence support early—before a letter of intent (LOI) is finalized or immediately after signing—so you have time to validate financials and negotiate terms based on findings.
Whether you are buying, selling, or restructuring, GPS Financial Services is ready to guide you through the financial complexities of your transaction.
